In plain words
The Name of Rāma holds infinite power. A small example: to build a bridge over the ocean to the city of Laṅkā, the monkeys began bringing huge boulders and throwing them into the sea. But all those stones began to sink in the sea. Then an idea struck Hanumān. On one stone he wrote ‘Rā’ and on another ‘ma’, and threw both into the sea. Those two stones drew close to each other and joined. By the divine glory of the Name of Rāma, even those boulders floated on the sea. The Name of Rāma gives us strength and ability found nowhere else. The principle of Rāma or the principle of Kṛṣṇa is not understood by someone explaining it. Neither by studies nor by positions can we reach God. It is possible by Prema alone. With Prema, with joy: ‘Rāmā! Rāmā!’: if you keep Him in mind so, Rāma Himself will come walking to your side.
Tyāgarāja the devotee
On the occasion of the wedding of the daughter of Tyāgarāja, a great devotee, a friend of his went from a village called Chengalpat near Madras to Tiruvaiyaru. To give to the bride as a gift, he took a picture of Śrī Rāma with him. At that time there were no buses or cars or aeroplanes, were there! So he went on foot from Chengalpat to Tiruvaiyaru. Seeing that picture, Tyāgarāja, in a joy he could not contain, sang, ‘Have You come walking to take care of me, Rāmā!’ Tyāgarāja was one who knew oneness with the principle of Rāma. He thought of Rāma as his closest friend. That is why, on one occasion: ‘Come, come, all the way to our house... O valiant Raghu, so gentle, I bow to You... Come, come, all the way to our house,’ he sang. When we invite an old friend home, we do not say, ‘Please come, kindly come in,’ do we! God too is our old friend! That is why Tyāgarāja called to Rāma, saying ‘Rārā’, as he would call an old friend of his. “How much shall I plead, Rāghava! Why this stubbornness, O Rāghava!” he cried out.
